Now, if only I knew of a way to break you of that Yorkie gibberish (sigh). I shouldn't set myself up for disappointment in that area. You are hopeless. No hyphen needed.
I'll have you know madam that `Yorkie gibberish` is the very foundation of the English language - it is where the language was created as a common tongue between Anglo Saxons and the Viking invaders. It later became polluted by Norman French and latterly by American usage.
That's why the correct pronunciation of Last rhymes with cast, vast, fast etc. It is
never pronounced like the poncey sounding larst as favoured by southerners (a pox on them)
